As a newer player (1.5 years), with a consistent distance of 325-350, it flies for me exactly as you described. Flips up, has a little turn, then a little fade. Will also hold anhyzer line for turnover shots. However, if thrown in a headwind, it can be a little touchy and might not come out of the turn.

The thrasher was my girlfriend's first disc she fell in love with, it was a higher speed driver, but that small hand hold you mentioned made the feel of the disc comfortable. I love these reviews 🙏🏼

I got an ESP thrasher in a mystery box right after I started playing and it has been one of my favorite discs ever since. It’s low profile feels great in my hand.

Foundation coming in clutch with the great disc reviews!
Y’all are the reason that I’ve pulled the trigger on buying discs I was curious about, thanks for taking all of my money 😅😂

[Stickbug]

It's my go to. Definitely more like a 10-11 speed. It's super strait at low speeds and awesome flip to turn over disc at full rips

[ThomasHeile]

You do a good job of discussing the difference in flight based on arm speed but don’t forget about elevation. My distance is about 430 and although the thrasher is too flippy at sea level, it’s perfect at elevation where I live in Salt Lake. Same with the scorch and heat 😊

Great disc I was throwing that when they first came out

A legendary disc for me! Got my first ace with it, 80m hole, (265ft), nothing special but first one nonetheless..

[Grannyknockers]

There’s an old par 3 course near me that was converted to disc golf and every hole would be perfect for this: 450 foot par 3s with tight fairways and OB on both sides. Need to have a disc in your bag that can hyzer flip for max distance and won’t fade OB.

I have a 2012? Big Z thrasher and it was and is stil my favorite disc. Is it super under stable? You better believe it, but I loved the stamp and it’s flight. I also got 2 Janice thrashers.

I usually drive about 350 or so with the Thrasher and it is my usual go to driver. Only time I don’t like it is throwing into a decent head wind, it gets a little unpredictable in a head wind.

[RockChlk]

Great disc for 360' of driving distance, or easy hyzer flips and dead straight shots.

[aklevin]

I'm at about 270ft on an average day, max 320 on a great day. I throw a beat-in Z-Flx Thrasher for straight distance on a hyzerflip or slow panning turnovers on a flat release. My farthest disc for sure. Hope this helps anyone else in this distance range.

As you know I’m sure Background is everything w these videos. sometimes it’s really hard to see the disc. The videos you guys have with trees in the background always show the disc better . Not complaining at all just a fan that enjoys seeing the throws.

This disc is my "catcher in the rye". If I see one, I have to buy it. Esp is definitely my favorite plastic, but the tour series is great feeling in the hand and good in the tail wind. I would say this is great for those players throwing 300+ ft. at least. Not really useful for someone throwing less than that. Avenger SS is the best first driver for those newer players. Thrasher and AvengerSS are very similar in flight, and that's why I bag them both. They offer different degrees of distance and control.

[schedulingfarmfresh]

As a newer player that bags this disc, I can confidently say that this disc is straight up money for your average players that throws in that 275- 375 distance range. You can get that flex line performance that advanced players get out of a Destroyer and discs like it. I don't see anything kicking it out of my bag.

[billherrera]

Loved my Thrasher until I tried a Fission Wave. I felt the Thrasher required a lot more open spaces to really get the flight out of if.

[CassidyHoudeshel]

What elevation was this filmed/thrown. Often an overlooked element for disc reviews.

[douglaspark]

Thanks for talking about what it would be like for different arm speeds and for the forehand tip and understable drivers. What would you recommend for a hyzer flip for someone with more like 250-300 ft of power?

[flipflat]

My jam is two ESP prototype Hades here's the problem I have tried other prototype Hades and they're too flippy.

For whatever reason both of mine have a noticeably higher PLH than other prototype Hades, I just really wish they were all more stable like mine are 🤷.

I'm thinking maybe if I try a Hades in a different plastic it might be similar to mine 🤷.
I guess I will have to see if it's offered in in Elite Z plastic, because that might be the stability I'm looking for👍.
